Sažetak
Introduction: The consequences of childhood poverty include unfavourable nutrition and lifestyle habits, living conditions and worsened health in adulthood, and reduces life expectancy. When compared to children from middle or high socioeconomic status (SES), children from low SES are more prone to extremes in the sense of their nutritional status, from undernourishment to obesity, along with the disturbances in all other health- related indicators. The aim of this research was to determine whether low SES affects nourishment of children in two economically differently developed areas, cities Osijek and Podgorica. Subjects and Methods: The research is a part of bilateral scientific-research project between Croatia and Montenegro „Comparative study on the impact of poverty on underweight and obesity, and dietary and lifestyle habits among schoolchildren in the cities of Podgorica and Osijek“. Comparative study was conducted on 586 children, 7 years old (373 from Osijek, 213 from Podgorica). Parents completed the study- specific questionnaire, which was used in both countries with language adaptation. Children were measured for height and weight, and their body mass index was calculated. International Obesity Task Force cut-off values were used to assess children's nourishment. Parents subjectively assessed their SES as good or bad. Results: Low SES is 5.5 times more common in families living in Podgorica in comparison to Osijek (43.7% vs. 8.0%). Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that low SES represent significant risk factor for child's obesity in Podgorica in comparison to Osijek. After multivariate logistic regression analysis the only independent risk factor is region: probability for child's obesity is 52.0% higher in Podgorica than Osijek. On the other hand, probability for child's underweight is 4 times higher in Osijek than Podgorica. Conclusion: Low SES is more common in Podgorica than Osijek. In Podgorica children have higher probability of being obese, while in Osijek of being underweight.
